Lemonade Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I sailed past his house on Lake Geneva last year. It's a fucking nice house. I was living in Geneva at the time. I kept hoping I would bump into him the Co-op but it never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Ahhh, shite. I'll just have to have a session listening to his amazing albums back to back to reminisce about his sheer brilliance. The man's a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys There She Goes - The Las Some cunt's taking the fucking pish...I did like some of the tracks off the first album, but I mearly saw them as some musical ditties with some good life observations thrown in. The 2nd album was not, dare I say it 'catchy'.I also liked the LA's, but I agree, I can't see where the GGR comes into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all_his_engines Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Phil Collins was and is an amazing drummer. Anyone who doubts that should listen to his work with Genesis and Brand X in the 1970s. He has, however, made some unforgivably shit music both in his solo career and in Genesis since 1980. If he'd stayed behind the drumkit and kept his mouth shut, things might have turned out better. Artistically speaking, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decontrol Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The man was/is a cock, no more, no less, i for one am glad that no more over indullgent shite will be coming out of his ugly fuckin baldy egotistical arse ever again!

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dahn DanDahn, Dahdahdahdahada.That was the sound of the marching band I have hired to celebrate this momentous moment. Your vote kicked him out in '97, and now the cunt has fucked off for good, YAYY!!People always say how good a drummer he is, what, on Another Day In Paradise, about 4 bpm, 3 weeks to conclude, Faahk off.

Frosty Jack Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've heard so many times that he is a 'brilliant drummer' but can someone please point me to a track to convince me, cos I've heard nothing yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work with Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno is also pretty good.He also drummed for every act at the Queen's golden jubilee (yes, I know they were mostly pish but to play seamlessly with all those different groups and with very little preparation is impressive) and for Led Zeppelin at their Live Aid (?) reunion.I'm not defending the guy personally, just his drumming ability.

Mouse Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 He is a brilliant drummer. As mentioned the Brand X stuff is probably his best. Anything Genesis pre 1980 (including Duke) is pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
